Identification of Logo Type for Shasta Imitation Black Cherry Soda Can

Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm looking for identification of the typeface used in the "SHASTA" logo on the attached image of Shasta Imitation Black Cherry Soda. I would estimate this to be from the 1930s or 1940s, but I can't say for sure.

What is it about "SHASTA" that gives it away as lettering, not type?

No match to a metal typeface of that era.

Logotypes and display lettering of that era were almost always hand drawn / lettered, not typeset. Phototypesetting didn't enter the picture until the 1950s, but even then hand lettering persisted long into the photo and digital typesetting age.
